Does Obama feel the Gulf's pain?

Peggy Noonan says his presidency is doomed. Even Democrats want him to be more "emotional." This is getting silly

By Joan Walsh

I've been struggling to understand the rage at President Obama about his handling of the British Petroleum disaster in the Gulf. I just haven't felt it. I don't see what more he can do, or could have done, to stop the continued oil leak or clean up the spill. So the anger, on right and left, seems strictly political, designed to benefit either one party
 
While I don't always agree with Noonan, I think she nicely outlines here what Obama's mindset and actions over the past year really ultimately prove as to what kind of leader, and President, he is.

Wall Street Journal. What a partisan hack rag. I'd never post an article from there.

Katrina was just as much Mississippi as New Orleans. The difference is Mississippi sucked it up and started rebuilding. New Orleans choose to to blame everyone else for their problems when it was their decades of neglect. Katrina has nothing to do with Bush just as Horizon has nothing to do with Obama. He was a fool to get up there and make it seem like he was in control from day 1. You don't get up there and tell everyone you're in control, then turn around and say BP has all the experience. Clearly BP is in control of this and Obama choose to double down his loss for political grandstanding.

The bad news for Obama is its his own people who are turning against him.
 
If you are paying tax dollars for the government to be involved in something, the government should be involved.

If we're going to leave it up to corporations, you leave them responsible.
 
So it wasn't a good idea to appoint a community organizer as the president of the most powerful country in the world? Shocking!
 
It's essentially like having someone win the lottery and they blow it and end up bankrupt in 4 years and kill themselves.
 
Hmmm....During/after Katrina:

Louisiana: Democrat Gov (and Dem Mayor of NO)
Mississppi: Republican Gov

Nah, can't be as simple as the Dems not being able to handle their own state emergencies while the GOP Gov was able to "deal".
 
I used to think Biden would suck ass to have as a president but he wouldn't be as effective and less would get done so it really would be better.
